A recent incident on an American Airlines flight has sparked curiosity and debate regarding the lengths to which some passengers might go to fund their travel experiences. Reports suggest that a first-class passenger might have paid for their upgrade by selling pictures of their feet during the flight.
Bare feet in the cabin have previously caused discomfort among passengers, sometimes leading to extreme reactions. "A passenger with smelly feet once drove another so nuts that he got stabbed on arrival in the parking lot," one account recalls.
However, the phenomenon extends beyond mere annoyance. Some individuals are photographing their own feet mid-flight, possibly catering to an online market for such images. With high-speed inflight Wi-Fi, these photos can be uploaded and monetized before landing.
